Thursday night, Kanye West and Kid Cudi teamed up as Kids See Ghosts to release their first album as a duo. Kids See Ghosts premiered via a livestreamed listening party held outside of Los Angeles in the early hours of Friday morning; Kanye and Kid Cudi were both in attendance. The album hit all major streaming services – you can find it on Spotify, Apple Music, or Tidal – by early Friday afternoon. The rollout for Kids See Ghost largely followed the same broad strokes as Kanye’s release of his solo album, Ye, last week – bonfire-centric listening and all.

A full-length collaboration between West and Cudi was long in the making – they began working together about a decade ago, on West’s influential 808s & Heartbreak, and have been a fan favorite pairing since. While it was long speculated that the two might join up for a Watch The Throne-style project, it was never a guaranteed prospect; the pair have had several falling outs and reunions over their history together.

That changed last month, when Kanye debuted an ambitious plan to release five albums in five weeks, each produced entirely by himself. Each album will be just seven tracks long, and Kids See Ghosts marks the third in the series, after the West’s own Ye and Pusha-T’s Daytona.

In keeping with the chaotic release schedule West set for himself, it was unclear whether the duo’s name and self-titled album would be Kids See Ghost (in keeping with West’s first tweet announcing the album), or Kids See Ghosts. Rolling Stone has confirmed with his label that it is the latter.

Outside of an image Kanye shared on Twitter of the working tracklist as of a week ago, there hasn’t been much official information available about the album. The album features guest spots from Pusha-T, Mos Def, and Ty Dolla $ign, and some frank verses from West detailing his recent mental health struggles.

Smashing Pumpkins have unveiled new song “Solara,” founding members Billy Corgan, James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin’s first new track together in 18 years.

On the Rick Rubin-produced song, which also features longtime guitarist Jeff Schroeder, Corgan sings over churning melodies and skittering beats, “I’m nothing but a body in my mind,” which he repeats before the layered chorus: “Tear down the sun/ Bring down the sun/ I’m not everyone/ I’m not everyone/ I’m not everyone.”

It’s the first proper tune by the three-quarters complete classic Smashing Pumpkins lineup. Original bassist D’Arcy Wretzky is not on board for the song or the group’s reunion tour following some contentious words and conflicting reports between her and the band.

The song will have its network debut on Monday, when the Smashing Pumpkins perform it on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. In July, the reunited Smashing Pumpkins will embark on their North American Shiny and Oh So Bright tour where the set list will comprise songs from their first five albums. It kicks off on July 12th at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

Vic Mensa has returned with a ferocious new song, “Reverse,” featuring G-Eazy and producer Marshmello.

“Reverse” is centered around an eerie piano loop that winds its way around pummeling trap percussion. Mensa’s bars are dense, breathless and packed with clever references like, “Rick Owens, I’m tip-toeing/ Push buttons, Kim Jong/ Roll through, looking so cool/ In an old school like Vince Vaughn.”

G-Eazy follows with a savage torrent of his own, spitting, “I get packages from Paris drop that FedEx on my name/ I get runway off the runway to the runway on the plane/ Told you we are not the same, see that Spider switching lanes.”

“Reverse” marks Vic Mensa’s first new music since the release of his debut studio album, The Autobiography, last year. The rapper recently launched a short North American tour, with dates scheduled through July 14th at the Sloss Festival in Birmingham, Alabama.
